Bounds on the Simplest Little Higgs Model Mass Spectrum Through Z Leptonic Decay

چکیده
We derive the leptonic neutral current in the simplest little Higgs model and compute the contribution of the model to the decay width Z → e+e−. Using the precision electroweak data we obtain a strong lower bound f ≥ 5.6 TeV at 95% C.L. on the characteristic energy scale of the model. It results in a lower bound for the new gauge bosons W ′± and Z ′ as being MW ′± ≥ 2.6 TeV and MZ′ ≥ 3.1 TeV, respectively. We also present the allowed values of the k = f1/f2 which is the parameter relating the two vacuum expectation values of the scalar triplets in the model, and the μ parameter of a quadratic term, involving the triplets, necessary to provide an acceptable mass range for the standard Higgs boson.

The Littlest Higgs Model and One-Loop Electroweak Precision Constraints
We present in this talk the one-loop electroweak precision constraints in the Littlest Higgs model, including the logarithmically enhanced contributions from both fermion and scalar loops. We find the one-loop contributions are comparable to the tree level corrections in some regions of parameter space. A low cutoff scale is allowed for a non-zero triplet VEV. Constraints on various other param...
متن کاملLight pseudoscalar η and H → ηη decay in the simplest little Higgs mode
The SU(3) simplest little Higgs model in its original framework without the so-called μ term inevitably involves a massless pseudoscalar boson η, which is problematic for b -physics and cosmological axion limit. With the μ term introduced by hand, the η boson acquires mass mη ∼ μ, which can be lighter than half the Higgs boson mass in a large portion of the parameter space. In addition, the int...
متن کاملNeutrinos in the Simplest Little Higgs Model
The simplest little Higgs model based on a gauge group SU(3)color×SU(3)weak× U(1)X contains three vector-like lepton singlets with electric charge 0 below electroweak energy scale. They are counter partners of the first component in the leptonic triplet of SU(3)L for each generation. Due to Yukawa couplings the neutral singlets not only have a Dirac mass, but also couple to the neutrinos. Thus ...
متن کاملSmallness of Leptonic θ 13 and Discrete Symmetry
The leptonic mixing angle θ 13 is known to be small. If it is indeed tiny, the simplest explanation is that charged leptons mix only in the µ − τ sector and neutrinos only in the 1 − 2 sector. We show that this pattern may be explained by the discrete symmetry Z 2 × Z 2 of a complete Lagrangian, which has 2 Higgs doublets and 2 Higgs triplets (or 2 heavy right-handed singlet neutrinos). In the ...
متن کاملSe p 20 09 Buried Higgs
We present an extension of the MSSM where the dominant decay channel of the Higgs boson is a cascade decay into a four-gluon final state. In this model the Higgs is a pseudo-Goldstone boson of a broken global symmetry SU(3) → SU(2). Both the global symmetry breaking and electroweak symmetry breaking are radiatively induced. The global symmetry breaking pattern also implies the existence of a li...
